This decade is going to be different. It will likely not even come close to the change, both good and bad, that has occurred over the last decade and the one preceding it, nonetheless, it will be different.I'm looking forward to a new decade with only a few, minor changes. It's not like I plan to become a new and improved version of myself. I just want to take the time to think-out, or dare I

A given task will usually get completed if I write it down. If it isn't written down, it will simply get forgotten - well, at least until it recurs as a random and usually fleeting thought - and simply will not get done.I have a black, pocket-sized Moleskine notebook that I try to keep an "To Do" list in. I'll make a fresh list each Monday morning and add to or check off items as the week

Watching the Oscars last night, I heard this quote for the first time by Paul Newman playing Chance Wayne in Sweet Bird of Youth:"The big difference between people is not between the rich and the poor, the good and the evil. The biggest of all differences between people is between those who have had pleasure in love and those who haven't."Nicely put... reminds me of how grateful I am for the love

It happened again yesterday. This time it wasn't so much of a surprise but still left everyone with that empty, sinking feeling. Let's hope that the feeling doesn't last.Once again many colleagues, many of which I truly consider my friends, were lost and, again, possibly forever.So, once again, I must bid, "Farewell!" to them as they move on and pick up the pieces.Farewell, my friends, and let

This week I lost several friends.Not lost as in "at sea" or "to the sin of gluttony" but, nonetheless, lost. Possibly, forever.You see, this week I saw how it really doesn't matter in the end how hard you work, how loyal you are, nor how great the accumulated values of you're contributions are. It just doesn't matter because, in the end, you're not even so much as a line-item on some bean

I updated my iPhone with the 2.0 Software Update.  Relatively slow going (more or less a total factory reset and reload of all music, audiobooks, and videos) that took about 1/2 hour to complete but no issues at all.Immediately downloaded Sega's Super Monkey Ball from the AppStore and handed it to the little boy to play while I activated a new MobileMe account.  Initial reaction was

So, two years and four months have passed and, still, nothing seems worthwhile of posting.  This, by no means, suggests that blogging, per se, is not worthwhile - I follow several blogs on a daily basis.Somehow, though, it just doesn't seem right for me even though I have often thought of starting (again) several times, even literally writing it down on one of my "To Do" lists.Maybe later...

So, it's been nearly twenty-one months since I created dBlog but, being concerned about such things as reserving my moniker, it was important to me to create it even though I had no idea if I'd ever use it.I think that now I may be ready to do some actual writing.I don't have a plan.My wife consistently reminds me of this.But I do, most definitely have a pattern.In fact, the name that chosen for
